Responsibilities

• Firmware Development & Delivery
• Design, implement, and optimize firmware (ideally within a RTOS) for STM32 (or similar 32-bit ARM) microcontrollers within an autonomous robot environment.
• Rapidly prototype and iterate to ensure quick value delivery, balancing quality with speed and testing times.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, software, electronics) to define and refine requirements and interfaces.
• Fast Iteration & Testing
• Develop and maintain automated testing frameworks that enable fast and reliable firmware validation.
• Work with a nimble mindset: quickly evaluate changes, gather data and feedback, iterate to ensure continuous improvement and immediate impact.
• System & Safety Considerations
• Implement robust error handling, fail-safe mechanisms, and performance monitoring within bare-metal and RTOS architectures.
